With Bollywood witnessing a trend of setting box office records these days, superstar Salman Khan says he does not have the ego to outrank the business records of Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan's films.
	"I believe a film should be good. The promo should be the deciding factor for people whether they want to see the film or not. It (promo) should be good enough so that people would want to see the film," Salman said here last night during the trailer launch of his upcoming film 'Jai Ho'.
	"Today it is about Rs 200 crore, 300 crore or 400 crore but I don't see it that way. There is no ego that if Shah Rukh and Aamir's film has done 'x' business, then my film should also do so and cross it (the record mark)," he said.
	"I wish and hope everybody's film should do well so that the business is more, industry grows, etc," he said.
	Salman did not have any film release this year, while SRK gave his biggest hit 'Chennai Express' in 2013, which earned Rs 226 crore at the box office in India. ...

	"When I did 'Munnabhai', for the first six to eight months I did not have any film to do. Nobody offered me a film. So I was wondering if people liked my work, why I don't have a movie in hand. I asked Raju Hirani did I do a good job? He said, I was excellent. Then how come I did not have a film in hand," Arshad told PTI.
	"That time he (Hirani) said to me nobody knows how and where to put you in a film. The films that I have been praised for are serious ones, but I am known to be a comedy actor. When I did 'Seher' and 'Jolly LLB', people liked me but they were of serious kind. But .

A movie based on the life of tragic Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson has been shelved as film bosses have reportedly failed to find a replacement for actor Aaron Eckhart after he quit the project.
	The 45-year-old actor, who was due to play Wilson, exited 'The Drummer' last year due to scheduling difficulties after spending six months working on his musical skills for the role, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
	Film bosses failed to find a new star, and now the project has been put on hold indefinitely.
	"It was a huge blow for us when Eckhart pulled out... With everything in the right place, (Wilson's heirs) would love to see a movie honouring their father. There are no plans to make this Dennis Wilson movie now, but I don't think it would be accurate to say we don't want a movie to be made," Brad Rosenberger, the movie's music supervisor said.
	Wilson drowned in California in 1983 at the age of 39.

	"Remember, you are all beautiful. Please don't ever try to look like the people you see in magazines, because it's fake. It only causes an unhealthy mind (sic) about how you see yourself. You are perfect the way you are," she added.

Burlesque star Dita Von Teese doesn't find Miley Cyrus' twerking routine beautiful.
	The dancer is not entertained by the 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker's penchant for the dance craze which made waves at this year's MTV Video Music Awards.
	Von Teese says she would rather prefer to look at photographer Helmut Newton's images which are famed for being provocative and erotically charged, reported New York Post online.
	"I am not someone who is appalled by Miley Cyrus, thinking it's vulgar. I love the very beautiful combined with the vulgar.
	"The problem is, I don't find it very beautiful. I'm more interested in looking at a Helmut Newton photograph of fetishistic situations and nudity and eroticism ... That drives my imagination, not the everyday vulgarity," Von Teese said.
	However, Cyrus's twerking has made her one of the most talked about pop stars of 2013 and helped her earn the title of MTV's Artist of the Year for dominating the music charts and giving memorable stage performances.
